Zampacon (Zampa means Paw, plus Convention) is Italy's first furry convention. Its first edition was held in Bologna, Italy, from December 29, 2012, to January 1, 2013. The event lasts 5 days and is scheduled to be repeated on an annual basis.
Attendance
The con's attendance peak was reached in the 2015 edition "Zampacon '15: Fur Ro Dah!" with 58 registered plus a few unregistered people present at the hotel, staff included.
Background
From its very first edition the convention, despite its size, strives to offer a place for the Italian illustrators, writers, fursuiters and gamers to express their art and passion, providing different activities, challanges and spaces for each diffrent aspect of the furry fandom, from drawing and writing challanges to fursuit games and general furry culture games, from panels on animal archetypes to furry-themed beach games and video games. Zampacon is currently the sole Italian furry convention, focusing mainly on the artistic and cultural side of the fandom while other national furmeets revolve more around partying, relaxing and being in contact with nature.
Mascots
After the 2014 editon a couple of furry characters named Dante and Beatrice (from the Divine Comedy characters) were introduced as official mascots. They were created by Aledon Rex and Hologram for the convention and their species are, respectively, a Maremma Sheepdog and a Eurasian lynx (two animals that are native to Italy) dressed with the colors of the Italian flag.
